Financing programs have played a critical role in assisting local government units with sewer and water system construction for over 140 years in New Jersey. Two key state laws, the 1876 Water Act and 1882 Sewer Act, provided mechanisms for funding that greatly accelerated needed construction in a number of cities. Today, the DEP and the NJ Water Bank continue this important work by providing low interest financing for a wide variety of projects that improve water quality.

Please be reminded that due to the current drought conditions, low rainfall and heat that New Jersey experienced this summer, the speed at which leaves change and fall will vary at given locations.
*Disclaimer: Certain species of trees change colors and/or drop their leaves faster than others, such as ash, oak and sycamore trees. *
There will be an unusual fall foliage pattern throughout the fall, stay tuned!

This is a bit misleading. Although we are showing a fossil oyster (Exogyra), the fossil we are highlighting is the tiny boreholes all over the surface. These were made by a boring sponge, Cliona cretacica. This specimen is the paratype from Gloucester Co.
What is a paratype? While not the holotype or the specimen that defines a species, scientists also designate other specimens as part of a 'type series' or paratypes to help illustrate a species.

BIG NEWS State of New Jersey ‼
Governor Phil Murphy announced plans to install electric vehicle charging stations at six New Jersey State Parks, Forests & Historic Sites 🌲🙌
Two charging stations are in place and operational at Round Valley Reservoir (Hunterdon County). Other properties scheduled to receive two Level 2 charging stations include Cheesequake State Park (Middlesex), High Point State Park (Sussex), Wawayanda State Park (Sussex and Passaic), and Wharton State Forest - Batsto Village (Burlington).
“The availability of EV chargers at scenic and recreational destinations throughout the state encourages residents and out-of-state travelers to choose New Jersey to charge up and unwind at any of our many destination points, whether it’s a park, down the shore, or at a historic site,” Commissioner Shawn LaTourette said. “We’re pleased to offer this new amenity and are excited to see park visitors charge their vehicles while enjoying their day outdoors.”
The charging stations were made possible with funding assistance from the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities as part of its Electric Vehicle Tourism grant program, which provides funding for chargers at tourist locations across the state.

There is always another solution if you bother to try........https://patch.com/new-jersey/brick/happy-ending-brick-swan-was-be-euthanized ie killing of foxes at IBSP and killing of beavers that cause issues. They should be relocated not killed!
I am writing to let you know that East Point Lighthouse is an important historical point if interest in South Jersey. My grandfather and great grandfather were keeper of the lighthouse. It as well as many historical places in the most southern part of the state are left out of financial aid. It is of utmost importance that we not only fund these but other historical places throughout the state. Many are in disrepair and have to beg for funding. Please help keep these landmarks open for future generations. With out our history and historical places we are nothing.
As a Pitman community we would like to express our concern about the dead fish at Glen Lake whose water has evidently been compromised by the township construction company responsible for removing and replacing the curbs and blacktops on the streets bounding the lake. The drains on the surrounding curbs have signs in the shape of fish stating “NO DUMPING”. This construction company has been seen washing their equipment near the drains and being indiscriminate with their craftsmanship making them responsible for harming and killing the wildlife of Pitman. I saw a bunch of dead fish (sunny, goldfish, minnows, catfish, koi and carps) in the bottom of the dam. This is completely appalling and I fear for the safety of the wildlife in the surrounding area due to the contaminated water.
Can you please guide to where these sites are in accordance with 39:3C-3.1 "Off Road Recreational Fund"?
Hoping this prediction of the tides won't be too severe.Want to share this for my New Jersey friends.Thanks.
Hopefully this won't be too severe. Hoping my New Jersey friends will be able to prepare for this.
So are "Listen to all sides," and Be transparent and honest with the public" NOT part of your professed principles anymore?! Asking for an entire community you've kept in the dark about the new parking lot you're racing to put in atop the superfund site on Route 29 along the Frenchtown/Kingwood border.
The State of NJ is tearing down their abandoned office building at 369 S. Warren Street downtown, with no attempt to contain the asbestos being released by their work.
Taxpayers were told that these buildings had to be abandoned partially due to asbestos contamination, so we all know what's
involved here.
I have reached out to the mayor, health and environmental officers in Trenton. I also sent a complaint to the NJDEP, and an email to [email protected] with the photos I attach here. The second photo is from the demolition of their attached greenhouse a few weeks ago, it shows ropes of dangling asbestos with no attempt at containment.
I have personally experienced the nightmare of asbestos remediation in NJ, albeit it on a much smaller residential scale, while selling my father's home. There was tenting, air locks, crime scene tape, HazMat suits and a big bill. The NJ DEP was there every step of the way. Where are you now?
This dangerous contaminant is raining down on downtown, Mill Hill, Luther Arms and Kingsbury. THE NJDEP must step in.

This cobra has no fangs! The DEP has allowed Aspen Construction, PA to repeatedly violate their own rules and act with impunity while destroying the wetlands at 4 Kates Tract in Mount Holly, NJ. Neighbors have repeatedly call the emergency hotline about them to no avail. They have been sent pictures of them digging with a long reach backhoe in the Rancocas Creek and a several acre pond during turtle breeding season. Dumping unknown chemicals into the same pond. Removing massive amounts of old growth trees from the wetlands and more! The most egregious so far is spreading 4 large dump trucks of historic fill in a 100% flood zone a few hundred yards upstream from the Municipal Water Pumping Station and this past week dumping 14 small dump trucks of fill into the wetland/ vernal pond; we think to build a DIY septic. NO ONE even bothered to even investigate this time; and on Earth Day of all days! They have repeatedly been cited but they now know the DEP isn't going to stop them and they have become emboldened in their destruction. After all that historic fill floods into the public drinking water don't bother saying no one told you!
North Wildwood at 2nd and JFK BLVD.. keeps getting worse.
